Context you provide

• {{audience}}: Who the content is for (e.g., young professionals, parents, tech enthusiasts).
• {{platforms}}: The social media platforms you're targeting (e.g., Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn).
• {{content_goals}}: What you want to achieve (e.g., increase engagement, drive traffic, build community).
• {{current_formats}}: Any existing content formats you've used (optional).

Instructions

1. If any of the above inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
2. Based on the provided context, brainstorm at least 10 unique content format ideas that are suitable for the specified platforms.
3. For each idea, briefly explain why it would appeal to the target audience and how it aligns with the content goals.
4. Prioritize ideas that are innovative yet feasible for a typical social media team to execute.
5. Group ideas by platform or content type (e.g., video, interactive, visual) for easy reference.

Output format Provide a numbered list of ideas, each with a one-sentence description and a note on its potential impact. Keep the tone enthusiastic and practical. Aim for 10–15 ideas in total.

• Flag any assumptions you make about the brand or audience.
• Stay within the scope of content format ideas—do not dive into full content creation unless asked.
